The goal of r/Teachers is to provide a supportive community for teachers and to inform and engage in discourse with educational stakeholders about the teaching profession. The rules highlighted in the sidebar have been developed to help us achieve this goal. It is expected that every user adhere to these rules.

POSTING RULES

1. The correct subreddit for your post?

If your post is about general education politics and policy, please post in /r/Education. If your post is about specific content area resources, please choose the appropriate content area subreddit which may be listed under The Education Network.

2. No Ranting or Complaining

We all have complaints and negative experiences but this is not the place to air them. Negativity spreads like wildfire and it prevents users from enjoying or participating in r/Teachers. Complaints should be restructured in such a way that you are presenting a problem for which you need readers' advice and ideas to help solve it.

The subject and content of the link should be apparent by its title. Posts with misleading or inaccurate titles will be removed.

5. No Misinformation or Unreliable Sources

Carefully consider the validity and reliability of the source before posting.

6. No Blogspam

Only primary sources should be used as links. If you are sharing an opinion or asking a question, submit a self-post. If in doubt, submit a self-post to promote discussion of a topic. Links to blog posts will be removed.

7. No Reposts

I'm currently attaining my teacher certification here in Texas, and I will begin student teaching next fall. I have been filling out my application and the application has a spot for second teaching field. I pulled up the Texas 8-12 teaching fields, and am torn between Computer Science and History. My main field will be Social Studies.

I didn't know that I would be choosing a second teaching field, does this mean I will be teaching in both fields? I've pulled up the Texas Standards and it doesn't seem too difficult. Does the second teaching field matter, and what is it for? Would Social Studies and CS be a good pairing, or should I go with the presumably more traditional Social Studies and History?

These are questions for your academic advisor or counselor. Every program is different.

That said, you're already doing social studies, why would you need history as well? But really, computer science, or any non core class, is likely to have too many applicants and not enough positions. Frankly, I think you need to pick something with more substance. Like special ed or ESL. And if you want to teach history, what are you going to coach?
